"I voted for the report on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for Portugal to provide support to the workers from the automotive manufacturing industry affected by the major changes in global trade patterns. The application concerns the mobilisation from the EGF of a sum of EUR 1 518 465 for Portugal in the event of 726 redundancies in three companies manufacturing cars, trailers and semi-trailers. The redundancies were made in the period between 1 July 2010 and 1 April 2011 in two contiguous regions, Norte and Centro. The cause of these redundancies is the decline in demand for new cars in the European Union. Car production in the EU dropped by 17% in 2009 and by 23% in 2008, compared with the same period in 2007. The fall in demand for electrical equipment for cars, combined with the impossibility of reducing production costs further and/or having access to credit, resulted in the closure of the Lear production plant in Guarda and its relocation to Morocco. I support the need to mobilise the EGF to provide assistance to the redundant workers. I also think that the EU needs to strengthen its industrial policy to prevent the relocation of European industry to third countries."@en1
